New York, August 29, 2000 /PRNewswire/ ResQNet.com, Inc., a pioneer in host application enhancement technology, unveiled today an aggressive program to enable enterprises to give customers, their supply chains, and outside personnel access to mainframe and AS/400 applications anytime, from anywhere, via wireless Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Pocket PC-powered handheld devices.

The program, which combines the complementary ResQEnable and ResQ/ME Wireless-to-host enablement solutions from ResQNet.com, Inc., is based on ResQNet.com's proven, patented technology. With ResQNet technology, users can rapidly reengineer their applications' user interface for Pocket PC screens - without any changes to the IBM host applications.

The ResQEnable and ResQ/ME solutions effectively address the crucial issue of simplifying traditional green screens while providing wireless access. The result increases the efficiency and effectiveness of agents and representatives by providing them with instant access to vital account and financial information and provides another valuable tool for effective customer service.

"Enabling enterprises to deploy wireless Pocket PCs that can interface with existing legacy mainframe applications allows businesses to increase the return on their hardware and software investment," stated Doug Dedo, group product manager in the Mobile Devices Division at Microsoft Corp. "Alternatives such as ResQ/Me and ResQEnable that require no change to existing applications provide a convenient way for corporations to reap the financial and service benefits of mobile handheld computing rapidly and with low risk."

The ResQ/ME software presents screens created with ResQNet.com's drag and drop Customization Studio graphically, with clickable hot spots and links for display with the standard Pocket PC browser. ResQ/ME uses Customization Studio to create the appropriate dialogs for interacting with wireless Pocket PC devices based on the actual screens displayed by the application - with no programming or scripting.

ResQ/ME can be integrated easily with most application servers such as IBM(R) Websphere(TM). Legacy data can be mixed with information from other corporate resources such as SQL-capable databases including Microsoft's SQL server, residing on a variety of platforms, and HTML links to external Web servers. The highly scalable technology is capable of supporting thousands of concurrent wireless sessions and does not require any changes to be made to the host server application or software.

Building on the power and flexibility of ResQ/ME, ResQNet.com's unique ResQEnable further accelerates deployment and reduces risk. With ResQEnable, ResQNet.com sends one or more highly experienced GUI consultants - specialists in Web enabling and human interface practices - to train the customer to wireless-enable their applications.

Through the ResQEnable wireless-enablement service, service enterprises such as banks, insurance companies, Federal, state, and local government, and healthcare institutions can achieve secure and reliable wireless-to-mainframe access within minutes, as opposed to the weeks typically required. A synergistic extension of ResQNet's proven, patented user interface rejuvenation technology and industry-leading expertise, the ResQEnable on-site wireless-enablement service is designed to provide substantial cost savings to companies as well as dramatically reduce time-to-market.

"While applications such as tracking shipments, monitoring bank balances, and performing account status checks are natural applications for wireless Pocket PCs, the small screens require fundamental changes in screen format and data presentation," explained Todres Yampel, President and COO of ResQNet.com, Inc. "The ResQEnable and ResQ/ME offerings provide the complementary technology and expertise to wireless-enable legacy host applications in a fraction of time required by conventional solutions. ResQNet plans to attract Microsoft's certified solution providers, as well as major, national and government customers with the ResQ/ME product."
